A Star Wars Fan Weekend Photo Story

Future of the Force’s staff photographer reports back from the bank holiday Star Wars weekend at Burnley Football Club

In a galaxy not too far away…. The forces of the Rebel Alliance and the evil Empire came together for the greater good. The time: bank holiday weekend April 30th to May 1st 2017. The place: Burnley Football Club, Turf Moor. It was the 10th anniversary of this outstanding charity event and I am delighted to share some pictures of it with you.

Location: Turf Moor Football Ground
